Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi all, I had a very successful open myo on 5/3, may write more about it in near future. Right now, I'm on my 6th day straight of insomnia, sleeping about 4 hours per night/day. This is scaring me. Have been trying herbal and prescriptive remedies with little affect. I believe cause is mainly emotional [MAJOR family conflict this past weekend, and, well, major surgery] combined with a sudden lack of exercize--I used to do cardio daily. If this sounds similar to your post-op experience and you successful in finding relief, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send your secret! Please, please write me directly at: tygerstar35@... Wishing all of us health and sleep! R.--SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi , I had a hard time sleeping after my myo too, which seems strange given how much recovery and work your body is doing. I think I was uncomfortable and it was hard to move around in bed. I also exercised daily before my surgery, so maybe it was the lack of activity. The one thing that has given me more relief than anything is acupuncture. I have been getting treated once a week since my procedure and I always sleep great the couple days after. My acupuncturist also reccomended a natural sleep aid called Sound Sleep, although I haven't tried it. Hope some of this helps. Sweet Dreams!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi , Are you feeling better, that is have you recovered and are you sleeping? This information is a bit late but a friend of mine said she drank camille tea ( a lot of it) before bedtime - it seemed to help her. I hope it helps you too.
